Re: monitor swapping and tube cross reference?

Check out this setup guide.

Just do a search for the tube numbers in question and see if the socket
adapter (CR/CA) numbers match.

There's been a little debate in the past on whether or not a matching socket
number means that the tubes are 100% swappable. I believe the consensus was
that there shouldn't be a problem with it, but use your own best judgement.
